The US military has reportedly deployed jeep-mounted Stinger anti-aircraft missiles around Washington.
The deployment follows a move by officials last week to increase the US terror alert to orange, the second highest level, due to reported threats from multiple sources with strong ties to al-Qaeda.
The heat-seeking Stinger missiles - which can be fired from the shoulder - have been deployed in mobile "Avenger" systems on jeeps also carrying firing and guidance units, reported Reuters.
